Video is the term of the day,

to see over a distance.
I have many videos,
and a VHS tape
filled with family moments,
some too heartbreaking to revisit.
Yet, they would bring joy to Joel,
to see us as we once were.

I have countless DVDs,
waiting to be watched,
but first, I must connect the player
to the TV.
Everything feels so expensive now—
chocolate, Netflix, fleeting things,
the weight of cost hangs heavy.

Today, I ventured to CVS,
where Christmas cards were on sale,
a pack of forty for fifty cents.
Envelopes to use,
even if the cards never see the light,
a small treasure in this season.

Peace out.
